What should I do about my 16 month old daughter who has had diarrhea for 12 days?

You need to take your daughter to a hospital fast. Keep her well-hydrated. Gatorade is good. But she needs to checked by a doctor as soon as possible. Home remedies will not suffice for something this severe.

First, take the child to the doctor, there may be an underlying reason for the diarrhea. Second, make sure she has been having plenty of fluids such as Pedialyte. Finally, be sure that good hand hygiene is done when handling the stool to prevent any spread of possible bacteria.

You should bring her to a doctor immediately. She likely has a serious infection or other major issue to cause such prolonged diarrhea. Moreover, diarrhea over this length of time causes its own problems, mainly dehydration. Anyone, but especially a child, suffering from diarrhea over this long of a time needs medical attention.
